25. The Struggle of the Clans (Part II)
A mountain peak suddenly rises from the ground under the left and right bends. It is said that it rises from the ground because although the mountains in Xiangxi are continuous, it is very rare to see such a majestic and imposing mountain peak as this, and under the reflection of the surrounding hilly-like hills, it is very strange to blend into it, less than close, and it is not conspicuous.
"This mountain is called Fengming Mountain, and my Phoenix Sect has been hidden here for generations in Xiangxi." Sun Xi, who is fatter than Chen Feng, introduced, "According to legend, in ancient times, there were colorful phoenixes living in this mountain, and the sound of phoenixes resounded for hundreds of miles, hence the name. ”
"But I wonder if your phoenix is also related to this?" Chen Feng observed as he spoke, and then was surprised to find that Fengming Mountain was independent of a group of steamed bun-like hills, and it could hide clumsiness, and it did not have the slightest formation arrangement, and it was completely naturally generated. I can't help but sigh at the wonder of creation.
Sun Xi smiled and pointed to a building with a strong Xiangxi color slightly close to the mountainside, "The two of you probably can't imagine that this is where the heart of my Phoenix Sect is located." ”
Chen Feng frowned secretly, most of the clan's sects are hidden outside the world, which is not surprising, but with the reputation of the Phoenix Sect in the Dao, the core of the entire sect is actually set in the middle of the mountainside, from Feng Shui, the foundation of the door is suspended in the air, and it is a taboo in feng shui if it does not connect the heavenly spirit and the earth's qi, "No......" Chen Feng immediately noticed that there was a powerful and incomparable aura hidden in the middle of the mountainside, but behind this spirit seven, the white light faintly transmitted the blood color, "The blood flows like a river...... Chen Feng was extremely shocked, and almost shouted, "This... … How can it be? He shook his head, maybe he was dazzled, how could the Phoenix Sect, which also had a thousand-year-old tradition, be so poor in feng shui, and what else could be shed in modern times except war?
"Sure enough, it's Lingshan embroidered water, wonderful...... ......"Wei Fei also saw the abnormality of Fengming Mountain, and when the two wonderful words came out, he couldn't find the right words and sentences.
"The wonder of Fengming Mountain is far from being like this!" Sun Xi patted Wei Fei on the shoulder and led the two across a stream. The stream was on the right side of the path that went straight to the middle of Mt. Fengming, apparently to cut off the road to the back of the mountain on the left.
"Please!" Sun Xi said this to Wei Fei.
Chen Feng was dumbfounded, it seems that Sun Xi really regards Wei Fei as an authentic disciple of the Longmen faction, this is not to say that Sun Xi can't distinguish the authenticity, mainly because the Phoenix faction has lived in seclusion for generations and has too little interaction with people, only in recent years has it begun to have outreach, but it is also secretly supporting the tourism economy of Phoenix, and the cultivation method in their sect is self-contained, even Chen Feng of the Qimen does not know much, Sun Xi can recognize the "immortal sleep" of the Longmen faction is not bad.
As for Chen Feng, he actually didn't understand Zhou Tian after more than ten years of cultivation, he was only interested in the strange spells of various sects in the banner gate, the five elements of yin and yang, feng shui Zhou Yi, and Taoism and Zen theory, almost all of them were involved, just waiting to hone his understanding step by step, maybe one day he would understand what reason, slowly accumulated, in fact, a process of gradual enlightenment, the purple light that faintly flashed on his head has already reflected his future achievements, the key is whether he is attentive.
According to the division standard of the flag gate, the white light is the color after entering the cultivation, the red light represents the level of the heavenly eye, the yellow light is the spiritual light and the wisdom light, the blue light is the passage of mana, and the purple light indicates the Mahayana realm of "purple qi coming from the east". In cultivation, the realm is a very mysterious thing, sometimes your decades of penance, but not as good as the instantaneous epiphany of others, "the law is self-evident", the reason has reached this realm, then the rest of you have also risen to this realm, and at the same time, the skill that should be possessed in this realm is better than the penance of others for a lifetime, so the most important thing in cultivation is "wisdom root" and "understanding", so some people can become a Buddha in one thought, and some people can not achieve it in their lifetime.
Different from ordinary Xiangxi villages, although the Phoenix faction is also a wooden hanging corner building, it is built and reduced by the height of the mountain, and the stone steps paved with bluestone are neat and heavy, and the overall style of the building is also based on its different functional levels, showing an extremely Chinese style. Other than that, go to other different places. If it weren't for Sun Xi's introduction, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this was the location of the mysterious Phoenix Sect in the monastic world, with no one to defend up and down, smoke wafting between neighbors, dogs barking and cows chirping one after another, and living out of an ordinary village in Xiangxi.
Chen Feng's brows are getting tighter and tighter, since he stepped into the village, the aura on the mountainside has become clearer, but looking at the layout of the phoenix up and down, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with this aura, that is to say, this is unique to Fengming Mountain, and it is not derived from the layout of the Phoenix faction, I am afraid that the Phoenix faction has been willing to hide in the mountains for thousands of years, and it is related to this aura.
Of course, Chen Feng took these things to heart, and he was not stupid enough to ask Sun Xi. He and Wei Fei met Sun Xi and Zhuang Sheng's death contract in the restaurant, and according to the situation, it can probably be inferred that Sun Xi of Phoenix and Zhuang Sheng's Gu God have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and the two sides have won and lost each other, 10 years ago, Phoenix and Gu Shenmen reached a ceasefire agreement, but just recently, 8 ordinary disciples under the Phoenix Gate suddenly died unexplained, so people have to suspect Zhuang Sheng of Gu Shenmen, but Sun Xi, who has been fighting with Zhuang Sheng for decades, first did not believe that it was Zhuang Sheng's hand, so he made an appointment with him privately. happened to be bumped into by Chen Feng and Wei Fei, at this time, the two Sun Xi said that they were invited, but it was somewhat a bit of a meaning that you have to come and not come, so it was too bad for them to appear, this is because Sun Xi saw that Zhuang Sheng regarded them as his helpers, and Wei Fei's spiritual power was pure and he was a "disciple of the Dragon Sect", so he did not show obvious hostility.
After arranging the two of them into a wooden building, Sun Xi smiled and hugged his fists, "The two of you have a little rest here, I still need to meet the door master, and I will come back later." Walking to the door and looking back with a smile, "The phoenix is not big, it has a thousand years after all, if there is no one to accompany you, the two of you must not walk around casually, so as not to have a senseless misunderstanding, and ......" He suddenly glanced at Chen Feng strangely, "And there are many arrangements left over from thousands of years ago in the village, and I ...... some of them Hmm, this Brother Chen Feng, you ......"
Chen Feng was startled, and hurriedly put away the hand that was still secretly calculating the aura halfway up the mountain, "Ah, I'm just Wei Fei's brother, follow him to learn some of the basics of spitting and thinking, but it is difficult to achieve anything, ashamed and ashamed!" ”
Sun Xi nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned around to go out. Go downstairs and go up the stone steps, this stone step is also the most obvious difference from other Xiangxi towns in addition to the appearance of the wooden building in the Chinese style. The general Xiangxi villages are bluestone steps that stretch in a bend, either cracked or covered with moss, but the Phoenix faction is a wide bluestone slab that is straight and straight like the famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, although it is not as luxurious as white marble, but it is very imposing. The hanging corner towers on both sides are built according to the mountain, but they are not messy, and different grades can be faintly distinguished from them.
Stepping up, from time to time, people on both sides greeted Sun Xi, most of them were peaceful and natural, "Sun Gong, are you back?" Or, "Sun Gong, I'm tired." There are also some young people who do not hide their automatic envy and dissatisfaction, "Sun Gong, have you taken the time to go to the Taohua River, where the beauties are famous all over the world." There was a burst of laughter.
Sun Xi smiled and nodded in return, walked to a seemingly magnificent wooden building on the mountainside near the upper floor, and finally couldn't laugh anymore, he was the most shrewd one of the disciples of the Phoenix faction in modern times, so he was entrusted with the important task of communicating with the outside world of the Phoenix faction, and he also lived up to his expectations, and gradually resounded the name of the phoenix to the world, so that the strength of the sect increased greatly, and the people in the faction associated with the name of public relations in the outside world, called him Sun Gong, of course, there are jokes, but more respect.
The armistice agreement between the Phoenix faction and the Gu God Gate ten years ago is also his credit, that Zhuang Sheng, like him, is the Gu God Sect's candidate for external affairs, so the two of them also fought endlessly, but they also rested with each other, and finally made peace, this is a joint effort of the two people, but this time in the Phoenix Sect, eight disciples died one after another, and the cause of death pointed directly to Zhuang Sheng's unique spell, he made an appointment to see Zhuang Sheng in private, if he was noticed by the door master, Sun Xi shook his head, "The consequences are unpredictable......"
There are five chairs on both sides of the door to the back wall of the wooden building hall, and the actual distance is not very far, but when you enter it, you will find that there seems to be a thousand zhang in the middle, and an unparalleled momentum is pressed from top to bottom.
Although he had been in and out of it countless times, Sun Xi was still unable to resist the wordless pressure, and stood there with his head bowed.
"So, the murderer is someone else?" The ethereal sound resounded throughout the hall, and for some reason, this all-wooden hall surprisingly produced echoes that seemed to be in a thousand caves.
Sun Xitou didn't dare to raise it, "In the opinion of the disciple, it should be the case, 10 years ago, Zhuang Shenggong was not under the disciple in the truce agreement with the Gu God Sect, and Zhuang Shenggong was not under the disciple......"
The top snorted, "You say that, is it because this sect misunderstood the Gu God Sect?" Could it be that there was another reason for the death of those eight disciples? Let me ask you, apart from the Gu God Gate, where did the phoenix come from his enemy, could it be that you Sun Xi provoked him outside in the past few years? ”
Sun Xi's cold sweat came out, this hat was too heavy, and he couldn't afford to wear it for three, "The disciple doesn't have this intention, the master of the sect is wise, maybe the compromise of the Gu God Sect 10 years ago is for today's break." ”
"That's right, I think that the Gu God Sect has been fighting with the Phoenix for so long, how can I stop it like this, after discussing it with the ten elders, this sect thinks that this is the Gu God Gate's delaying strategy. They used 10 years in exchange for stable development, and this time, they actually picked me in front of the phoenix gate openly. ”
The ten people on both sides of the hall who could not tell their age nodded one after another.
"I've worked hard for you these days." The door master's tone softened, "In the past few years, it is precisely because of your rush that the strength of the phoenix has increased greatly, and it seems that the excavation in the mountains has advanced a lot more than the Gu God Gate, after the deliberation of the 10 elders, the day that the spirit object is born, it should be ...... within two or three days" The door master sighed, "Isn't this the day we are waiting for?" Seeing that the treasures that have been guarded for thousands of years are about to break out of the ground, naturally they can't tolerate the Gu God Gate to toss again, Sun Gong, I will promote you to the Phoenix's Dharma Protector Holy Envoy, second only to the 10 elders, specializing in dealing with the Gu God Gate. ”
"Thank you, Master." Sun Xi retreated like a mirror in his heart, his hard work in the past few years has indeed greatly improved the economic strength of the phoenix, so the excavation progress in the mountains has also accelerated, and this is probably the reason why the master of the Phoenix faction insists on falling the blame on Zhuang Sheng.
Between the two gates, for the spirit beans in the mountains for thousands of years, it is finally stopped, everyone has a 10-year adjustment period, and they think that they are far superior to the phoenix of the Gu God Gate, when will they not move at this time?
"Brother Zhuang, my brother is incompetent!" Sun Xi, who followed the door master's words against his will, sighed secretly.
"Sun Gong, I heard that you went out and brought two children back this time?"
Sun Xi was shocked, "Door master, the covenant between Sun Xi and Zhuang Sheng is really abrupt......"
The master of the door smiled, "It's okay, do you know who those two are?" ”
Sun Xi was shocked, "It should be a disciple of the Dragon Sect, so the disciple dares to ...... rashly."
"Huh!" The master of the sect interrupted him, "The Dragon Sect is just a rare genius in a hundred years, how can these two compare, you know, that Chen Feng is the heir of the Banner Sect." ”
"Banner Gate!" Sun Xi almost sat on the ground, and in the moan of "Tian......", another bold idea secretly rose.
